Amulets and runes

Here's how to use the rune charms on this webpage. The easiest method is to print this page and cut out the charm or charms you want to use. The charms will last as long as the piece of paper. (Do not laminate the piece of paper. You could, however, make several copies and consecrate all at the same time.)

If you can only print in black and white, trace each symbol in red ink or red marker while concentrating on the symbol's purpose. If you print in color, tracing the symbols with your finger will do. (Traditionally one would stain the charms with one's own blood. See more about this below.)

If you want to make more sturdy talismen, carve and paint the symbols onto pieces of wood, Fimo or ceramic clay, or other materials. Hobby shops sell thin wooden blanks in various shapes that are ideal for this use. Carving stone is next to impossible without a Dremmel highspeed drill, so painting should suffice on that medium.

One traditional application of the Fertility charm is to carve it on a piece of cheese and then eat it. Other methods include drawing a charm on one's body with saliva or blood, (or vaginal fluid or semen in the sex related charms), or henna for a temporary tattoo which lasts about 4-6 weeks, or even a permanent tattoo.

Be extremely careful about permanent tattoos. Runes are very powerful and can be dangerous. The only rune charm I would trust for a permanent tattoo would be the Aegishjalmur, the bindrune for protection and irresistibility in combat or the Vegvisir, a runic compass.
